The Angels Night is a theme night included in the promotional schedule for the Ducks that is one of the fan favorites. The night is inspired by the MLB's Los Angeles Angels based on Anaheim since 1966. 

There is some form of giveaway usually scheduled on the theme Night, and the team wears a Ducks/Angels co-branded jersey during warmups. Last season's Angels Night featured a limited edition Max Jones co-branded bobblehead given away with the Angels Night Ticket Packs.

Details of the theme nights, including the Information regarding the giveaway for the night are generally released sometime before the scheduled date.

Last season, autographed Ducks and Angeles memorabilia were auctioned off, and we will most likely see something similar this season as well. 

The 2023 Angels Night was played on February 27, 2023, when the Ducks played the Chicago Blackhawks, which ended with a 4-2 victory for the Ducks. The Ducks scored 2 in the first period and one each in the second and third periods to nab the victory. 

Playing at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, LAA Angels are a professional baseball team established in 1961. The team plays in the West Division of the MLB, one of the six divisions that make up the structure of the MLB.
